Singers who don't look like their voice.

billiumbean:
The assemblies at our school usually allow a student to sing the national anthem, and this past Wednesday we had a "Farewell Seniors!" ceremony.  The guy who sang the Star-Spangled Banner this time was a senior, and though he's generally one of the quieter, more nerd-cool guys, seeing him onstage made me think he was there as a joke or a dare, which would suit his sense of humor.

He sang the redneck-pride out of that song, and the shock-and-awe of the crowd made it difficult for him to even sing, since we were cheering so loudly.

I was wondering, though, where else does this Susan Boyle phenomenon exist?  And I welcome similar stories to mine, even if the person isn't famous or even searchable on the internet.

Catacombs:
I don't like American Idol or anything like it, but the same time I saw Susan Boyle, I was shown a video of a ten-year-old little girl singing AMAZINGLY.  I think her name was Hollie Steel.  Check it out on YouTube.  Totally unexpected.

fish across face:
I always thought Aaron Neville didn't sound like you'd expect if you met him on the street.

Dazed:
I'm gonna go ahead and say Chris Cornell.

Patrick:
Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers. He's also the guy who sings in "Time Of My Life" from Dirty Dancing. I expected that voice to be not from a white dude.

The dude from Built To Spill also looks like his voice would sound a bit less nasal than it does, but I guess not all people who look like lumberjacks have got voices that can thunder down a mountain.
